Even with the NCAA Tournament down to just one game, doesn’t it feel like Selection Sunday was just yesterday? It’s hard to believe that the 68-team field for the 2023 NCAA Tournament was unveiled over two weeks ago, yet here we are, ready to bring March Madness to a close. You remember that nice, neat clean sheet with 68 team names on 68 lines on the March Madness bracket. Well, we are down to just two teams remaining.
